Chapter 242
In the grain shop, Xiao Er was sitting on a chair napping, and after hearing the movement, he quickly stood up and said enthusiastically, "Guest officer, what do you want?"
Murong Qin said directly
, "I want 100,000 stone grain."
"100,000 stones?"
When Xiao Er heard this, his face immediately changed, he glanced her up and down, put away the smile on his face, and said a little impatiently
, "Guest officer, aren't you idle and have nothing to do?" The little one is busy, but he doesn't have the time to play with you. "
One stone of grain can be eaten by a hundred people for a day, and this 100,000 stone of grain is equivalent to the rations of tens of thousands of people for more than half a year.
Murong Qin naturally understood what he was thinking, and he was not annoyed, he only said
, "I came to buy it sincerely, and I ask you to call the shopkeeper out."
After that, he slowly took out the black token engraved with a mandala flower from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Er.
"You..."
Xiao Er didn't expect to meet such an incomprehensible person today, and was about to say something more, but he didn't expect to see the black token with golden flowers.
He suddenly froze in place with his mouth wide open, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Little second brother, is it feasible?"
Murong Qin frowned, he didn't expect that he just wanted to buy food, it was so troublesome, but it was not enough to raise the tens of thousands of Zhenxi troops if he was less, so these were already the lowest standards.
"You... You wait, the little one will go and ask the shopkeeper.
Xiao Er stammered, and ran to the backyard with a roll.
Murong Qin: "..."I
was still impatient just now, but now I am running very fast!"
She looked at the black token in her hand, and a different color crossed her eyes.
She's not stupid, so it seems that it's all the credit of this little thing.
A touch of curiosity welled up in Murong Qin's heart, and he was white...
Who is it?
The sound of hurried footsteps soon came from the backyard, and two figures appeared in front of her one after the other.
The one who followed behind was the shopkeeper who had just met, and the old man in front of him, who looked to be about fifty years old, should be the shopkeeper of the grain store.
The old man first confirmed the black token, and then looked at Murong Qin quietly, then stepped forward respectfully and said,
"I don't know this son's surname?"
"Don't give your surname Rong." Murong Qin said lightly.
"Old decay Zhou Liang, I have seen Rong Gongzi," Zhou Liang bowed and saluted, and said, "
I don't know if the son is coming, the old man has missed the welcome, and I hope that the son will forgive the sins."
"Shopkeeper Zhou is polite," Murong Qin nodded slightly, "I want to buy a batch of grain today, I don't know..."Zhou
Liang arched his hand and smiled
, "It's hard for others to say, but if Gongzi Rong wants it, naturally there is."
It's just that 100,000 stone of grain is really beyond the amount of the grain store, so it needs to be transported from other places, and it may take several days to delay the work of going back and forth on this road, can you afford to wait?
It's only a few days, and Murong Qin can naturally afford to wait, so he nodded and said,
"Yes."
Zhou Liang's eyebrows soothed a little, and after thinking for a moment
, he said, "Presumably Rong Gongzi also knows that this year, because of the disaster in Luoyong and Luoyong, the price of grain has skyrocketed, and the price of only seven wen a liter in previous years has now risen to twenty wen, but you are naturally different."
Our owner has already explained that those who hold this token only need half the price of the purchased goods, so Rong Gongzi's batch of grain will be calculated at the price of ten cents, okay? "
Murong Qin has been here for so many days, so he naturally knows that the old man is not lying, otherwise, there would not be so many hungry and yellow-skinned victims.
One of the reasons is that the crops in the fields have not been harvested because of the locust plague, and on the other hand, because the price of grain is too high, and the people are bankrupt and cannot afford to eat food.
The price of grain for ten cents can't be bought even if you search all over the Yongzhou territory.
Murong Qin even had some doubts, if she sold it at this price, and the grain store spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it here, would it be upside down?
However, since it was proposed by the other party first, it should not be so, if it is not a relative, where will anyone be willing to make a loss-making transaction?
can only say that she was lucky today and picked up a big bargain for nothing.
Since the price has been agreed, Murong Qin is not a stingy person, he directly took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it over, saying
, "This is the deposit, the shopkeeper of Zhou will collect it first, and the rest of the silver will be settled when the grain is delivered."
Zhou Liang took the silver ticket, counted the amount, and looked up a little more respectfully,
"I don't know where Rong Gongzi's grain is going to go?" It's good to arrange manpower for old decay. "
Murong Qin had planned to use this to include some private goods, so naturally he couldn't send them directly to the barracks.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou can send things to Rong's house in the south of the city, there is a big willow tree outside the alley, and the third one is inside."
"Okay, Young Master Rong!" The old man nodded and said, "When the food arrives, the old man will arrange it immediately." "
After the grain was ordered, one of the purposes of Murong Qin's coming here was accomplished.
Her eyes turned slightly, she thought of where she was going next, stepped out of the grain store, instantly turned on her horse, and then pulled the reins, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into an alley.
The next moment, someone flashed and hurriedly followed.
Here, after Zhou Liang took Xiao Er to send Murong Qingong out of the door outside the shop, he turned around and went back.
Xiao Er was a little puzzled and said,
"Shopkeeper, do you really want to sell it to him at such a price?" This price is the lowest in the whole Yongzhou and Luozhou, right? If you come back from outside the world, it is estimated that even the capital will not be enough.
Zhou Liang paused and glanced at him
, "It's not something you should worry about, just do your own thing, next time this son comes, he must be treated as a distinguished guest, understand?"
Zhou Liang still knows a little bit about his own junior, so he explained it again.
"Yes, the shopkeeper, the little one knows, don't worry." Xiao Er pinched a handful of sweat and hurriedly promised.
Today is his luck, if he hadn't reacted in time, this hard-won job would have to be lost.
In the main hall in the backyard, the man in the black brocade robe was sitting precariously, his bearded face was full of indifference and alienation, his phoenix eyes were cold, and he was motionless looking at the celadon tea cup in his hand.
It was Yubai who Murong Qin wanted to thank in his mouth.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he didn't move, and said in a low voice,
"It's done?"
"Yes, master, it was all done according to your orders."
Zhou Liang said respectfully, thought about it, and repeated the conversation between the two.
